I'll have to try that. ;-)
I just tested that, and it works (cool, thanks for the tip Nicolas.) However, I think you phrased it slightly incorrect. At least on my systems (solaris 10), let me correct this: You can create/destroy/rename snapshots via mkdir, rmdir, mv inside the .zfs/snapshot directory, however, it will only work if you're running the command locally. It will not work from a NFS client. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
